Solar powered electric vehicle using maximum power point tracking

Abstract

The solar energy with its unrestrictedaccessibility is measuredas non-degradable, immortalkind of energy that discovers its mean in day by dayexercise. The utilization of solar vehicle is an initiative pace headed forplummetingcraving on the conformistenergy;exploit the non-renewable cause of control for a range of submissions. This paper majorly intended on the various applications of solar energy to gear up the utilization of electric vehicles. The Photo Voltaic (PV) elementsattached either in comparable or sequencemay be a superiorchoice, but expensive too. An electrical charge is merged from the PV panel and aimed to the output terminal to generate low power voltage. The charge controllers (CC)unswerving this power obtainedwith the solar panels to the batteries. The outcomes are based on the “design and simulation” of different constituents of the solar based electric vehicles. The PV cell has to be optimally effective at a meticulousposition to carry maximum power known asMaximum Power Point (MPP). Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm is exploited at this point. The dynamic behavior of electric motor (EM) is essential in regulate to estimate the concert of electric vehicles. These vehicles will be controlled in the forward as well as reverse direction with a speed of 48Kmph. The efficiency obtained for proposed solar vehicle is higher.
